Inter-est in Raúl García

Raúl García is proving to be one of the sensations of the season. The Spaniard, not currently a regular starter, has put in 10 goals to date this campaign: six in 'La Liga', three in the Champions League and another in the 'Copa del Rey'. It is unsurprising, therefore, that several teams have already made enquiries about his situation at Atlético.

As Radio MARCA reported last night, interest has most recently come from one of the greats of Italian football, Inter Milan. Inter's approach has been met by a negative response from the 'Rojiblancos' and Raúl himself has expressed his desire to stay on at Atlético, where he is now feeling appreciated. Consequently, the player's renewal is likely to be the next on the list of announcements, following the club making Adrián's contract extension official.

The former Osasuna player's current deal is up at the end of next season, but he is a key asset for Simeone. While not a fixed member of the starting line-up, he does get a lot of minutes and is the first-choice stand-in for Costa and Villa when unavailable. It is logical to think, therefore, that García's relationship with Atlético is set to last.
